Legendary CB Deion Sanders led the Pro Football Hall of Fame's 2011 class on Saturday.

Joining him in the Hall will be RB Marshall Faulk, TE Shannon Sharpe, DE Richard Dent, LB Chris Hanburger, LB Les Richter and NFL Films founder Ed Sabol. One of the most gifted athletes in the history of American sports, "Neon Deion" was a six-time All Pro, two-time Super Bowl champion and 1994 Defensive Player of the Year. His 53 interceptions are 23rd all time. He was also amongst the most explosive returners in league history, taking six punts to the house, tied for eighth all time. In addition to his NFL career, he spent nine years patrolling the outfield for four Major League Baseball teams. Sat, Feb 5, 2011 07:31:00 PM

Deion Sanders has admitted to cheating while at Florida State.

"I cheated in college, but not off you Mooch," Deion said Saturday night during the NFL Network's pre-game show. Sanders may have meant it as a joke, but it was odd timing for such a revelation. "Mooch" is co-host Steve Mariucci. Sat, Dec 16, 2006 06:35:00 PM

Deion Sanders announced Monday that he's retiring again.

While it was a nice story for a season, Sanders was an injury-prone liability in his second year back with the Ravens. He'll enter Canton with Jerome Bettis in five years. Tue, Feb 14, 2006 03:11:00 AM

CB Deion Sanders is receiving criticism from the media in Baltimore, but coach Brian Billick said he made just two mistakes in the 17 snaps he played Sunday.

''Deion played a solid game,'' Billick said. ''He had a busted coverage with Chad Williams one time where there was miscommunication. And he had one physical error where he set a little high and got beat. Outside of that, he played pretty well.''

He probably just wanted to be back in the news. Sanders was tested weekly last season because he stopped taking drug tests when he failed to show up the Redskins in 2000. By league rules, that meant he was subject to stricter testing if he ever returned to the NFL.

Apparently it was due to a missed test while he was still with the Redskins, though Sanders thought it was because he'd tested positive. It's interesting how something like this could be covered up for so long. We wouldn't be surprised to see more of these stories pop up as Steroid Watch 2005 continues.

It's possible Deion Sanders won't sign with the Ravens this week because he's not medically cleared to play yet.

He is still recovering from toe surgery. ''Man, I don't know,'' Sanders said when asked if he was going to receive medical clearance. ''I wish I did know. Pray for me.'' Our prayers our with you Deion.
